Booking.com House rental Florida

When we arrived at the boho style property in bonita springs florida on tues 26th sep at 10pm and as soon as we got in we see the door had been smashed in and locks changed 3 times in the past which we have photo proof and immediately did not feel safe and had to barricade the door with a sofa just to try and get some sleep as we had been travelling for 15 hours and it was late at night so we we left in the morning and booked another house as this place was not secure and the photos on the web site must be 20 yrs old as it was in a poor state so we will require our money back or I will be taken legal action. We can not access email in usa so can respond after the 10th oct with photos or call us +[protected] thank you.

Desired outcome: please refund

Booking.com Bookings.Com incompetency

Good DAY

I made a booking for the below, last week Thursday 2023/09/21 at Amanzimtoti Beachfront Holiday Apartment, Flat No 23, and the booking was confirmed but unfortunately there were no vacant rooms in that hotel. The owner was shocked because he was fully booked, and he asked that I cancel.

Booking.com does not verify if there are vacant rooms in a hotel but however it confirms booking. I request that I get my money in full because money was deducted from my account, but the error is on BOOKING.COM.

I still await payment or reimbursement till date.

Desired outcome: Reimbursement without any cancellation fee since booking.com is the one in the wrong

I recently stayed in an Airbnb apartment in Golden Square, London, 17-22 Sept., booked and paid through Booking.com and had the most horrific experience. I awoke early in the morning to see bed bugs on the sheet and on the duvet right near my face and my head. I rushed out of the bed and managed to take photos before crushing them. I immediately wrote to...

Booking.com Payment that Booking.com won't stop.

On the 7 of September, I booked a house to stay in from the 8-11. However, I never received a conformation and pin. I tried my best to contact them, which it's not easy to. When I did get in contact with their customer service department they kept asking for a conformation and pin which I never received. I used Affirm to do my payment plan through, but I am unable to stop the payment for something that I never used. Afrrim keep telling me that Booking.com has to stop it I given the ID for the payment but Booking.com will not cancel the payment. It does even showup in their Booking portal.

Desired outcome: I would like for this issue to be corrected.

Booking.com Flight cancellation and refund. My name is Nompumelelo Ndlovu. I booked a flight from Durban to London for the 6th ( ref: 40-[protected])

In 16 July 2023 I cancelled the flight. I have been awaiting for a refund as I need to book for another flight. My communication with your consultant ms has not been helpful. I have been told that the airline( emirates) are the course of the delay in my payment. One consultant from you side gave me the Airline reference no. - KRUPAF for me to do my own follow ups. The airline confirmed that a payment was made 15 days after the refund was requested.

I have been going back and forth with this with limited support. My last contact with the airline, they informed me that it is booking. Com’s responsibility to follow up about my refund if there are issues, telling me that you should be contacting their sales support team if the ref does not appear in 15 days which has long past.

Can I be assisted with getting my refund as soon as possible as I been to make another booking.

Desired outcome: To receive my payment refund as soon as possible.Email address:[protected]@gmail.com

Hotel: Harbourside Hotel

Such room was booked with a confirmation, unfortunately, Hotel informed that no any room in available to me. Few date later, Booking.com also informed that such booking is in-Valid since my credit card's problem!

It is unreasonable! I still using my credit card everyday!

I lost my family trip since it is fully booking everywhere since there is Air show at surrounding! (Hotel side offered my that can allows me to choice other hotel, it is useless)

Also, the serious point is it is 'Lying' from Hotel, and no any 'secured booking' from your company!

Finally, I writing my dissatisfaction and requesting to claim a compensation for my inconvenience!

Looking forward for your reply.

MR. Wong

(booking Email: [protected]@hotmail.com)

Desired outcome: Compensation : room price as booked (119 Pound)
